I'm puzzled why the FIRST of those cases works, because I would expect
you to need this:

    zstyle ':completion:*:default' list-colors '=(#b)*(XX*)=0=31'

which does work for both cases.  Something about having both --first
and -f as matches is causing the "display string" against which the
pattern is compared to start only after the two columns of matches,
whereas when there is only a single column of matches each full line
becomes one "display string".
